Puyallup police said a group of burglars used sophisticated techniques to steal more than $200,000 in gold from a business last weekend.

On Monday police were called to Gold Definitions and discovered that burglars cut holes in the roof of the business complex and lowered themselves into the jewelry store's neighboring businesses.

Then, the burglars removed sections of the wall that led them into the jewelry store and to a safe containing more than $200,000 in gold.

"If you could call criminals professional, this is basically as professional as you can get," Det. Mike Lusk of the Puyallup Police Department told Komonews.

Video surveillance shows that the operation took about four hours.
